Monahan's two way play is grossly under rated. He's the Flames best faceoff man and is that finisher in the middle we've long wanted. Oh, but he's not Connor McHobo or Nathan Mc####face, so we have to run him out of town. Get real. Even in his worst year he was still better than any Flames center. But that would be so Calgary. Run a core player out of town because they have a bad shortened season when nothing went right for the team, and throw all your eggs in the baskets of players who did worse or didn't show up at all during the season, but had a great mini-tournament.

I appreciate this post because everything you’ve said is legit.
And personally I’m in the trade Johnny keep Sean camp myself.

However this core (which Sean is a big part of) is not getting it done as we’ve seen the last 4 years.

So with that being said, I’d be interested to hear what you feel we should do to shake up the core or what changes you think the Flames need to make to get us to the next level of trading away your score and shuffling it up is not in your ideal beat interest.

Being serious, I’m curious because I want to feel the same way but it’s hard to trust this core again in my mind.
